It is a super course, a upland heathland/links half a mile from the sea. We have a Pro Am today and the Northumberland v Cheshire County match Saturday week.
The R&A blokes have had a look and put it on the list of The Open regional qualifier courses.
We had a European Tour event in 1977
A young 20 year old player hit a drive of 370 yards with a Persimmon driver and a Tour Balata, through the back of 15 while the group ahead were putting.
He then caused caused consternation by walking across the wooden clubhouse floor with his hard spikes on.
He is my all time hero
Seve... of course
Well worth a visit
